In Reply to: Why HD or True HD? posted by Tommart on May 6, 2006 at 07:10:38:
DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are both lossless formats. In fact, Dolby TrueHD is actually MLP (with a few little changes). Both are superior to CD (which is 16-bit/44.1kHz). However, it's up to the content provider as to how superior the soundtrack is. For example, The Phantom of the Opera (HD DVD) has a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack, but it's 16/48. What asshole at Warner Bros (the antithesis of quality audio) made this fucked up decision? The minimum acceptable standard for High Resolution audio is a 20-bit wordlength at a 48kHz sampling rate.The DTS-HD stream provides both a lossles soundtrack and a lossy soundtrack (for backward compatibility). The Dolby TrueHD stream also provides both a lossless soundtrack and a lossy soundtrack for backward compatibility. If the content provider uses DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD, no other format (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, PCM, etc) is needed. They are just bloat!
